Condolence from Shirley Keller on November 17th, 2023 12:39 PM

I met Dawn and Clay when they moved into Towerview. We also played bridge for years with the same group of girls. Dawn usually rode with me to our games, so those were the times I got to know her best. I knew her as a real and caring friend, not one given to gossip or making mean comments. I looked to her for her wise opinions on many things. I could always depend on her to be cheerful, helpful and candid. I will miss her smile around the building and remember her often.

Condolence from judith christensen on November 17th, 2023 2:20 PM

Condolence from Lynn Murray on November 17th, 2023 7:34 PM

Dear Clay, Kim, Michael and David,

Such a huge loss we are all feeling, her family, her co-workers and dear friends, I must share that when my mom (June) and Dawn were together, they could make each other laugh hysterically. l will always remember them bobbing on their pool noodles, but only when the temperature of the pool was over 85 degrees. Clay, Albert, Dawn and June always shared wonderful times together. Their fine tuned senses of humour fed off each other. I will always smile when l think of some of the mischief they could find. Dawn…you behave up there with Albert and June!

Condolence from JoAnne Pickering on November 22nd, 2023 1:55 PM

So sorry to you to hear of Dawn’s passing!!
